some ur import Ant rencontres in detail, the protection of the plain Os and assisting in the covering and construction Of SC ri'e fortified towns and posts, have been the duties as signed t o us. - The partisans of despotism say we have experienced a suc cessi, Al of defeats ; I say most distinctly that we have not suf ferr,d the slightest cheek. Again, within tie interval adverted to, the enemy have 'been thrown bark completely upon their lofty or inaccessible fastnesses—al least twenty towns or villages, including Ar minon, N'anclare s , A r i nez , T rav i no , P enacerra d a , Valalba, San Vicente, Zubiri, several points dependant on Bilboa, &c., have taken possession of, and fortified by the Queen's troor : s. To the greater portion of which we have directly cor,tributed, including the acquisition of at least four or five tkiousand square miles of territory, covered by those points, 'and thus rescued from the enemy. While the present Ministry of her Majesty, on their parts, having found the country a few months since in a state of total anarchy, have not only restored tranquillity, the influence of the legislature., the authority of the laws and of government, hat have nlsr, already, even under these unpromising, embar rassing, and most perilous circumstances, actually realized, armed, clothed, and equipped a reinforcement for the army of not les s than seventy thousand men, who arc in a forward state of instruction, and many thousands of whom have within a few s reached the field of operations. Thus it appears to Inc that something, during these winter - months, has been done ; and though the rebellion still rears (but I am happy to say in diminished force) its guilty front, yet to my apprehension adequate means are provided for its de•struction. In a word, since the period of that admirable measure of the foreign policy of England, the Quadruple Treaty, which in effect guaranteed constitutional freedom to the Peninsula, and assured to civilization in Europe a counterpoise against the military Sovereigns of the North, the termination of all opposition to legal government in Spain has appeared to me as a mere question of time. Premature rivalries, party indiscretions, or miserable personal ambition, may indeed retard, but cannot, I conceive, defeat, the assured and happy result. It would, indeed, my friends, be a manifest error—one -which I am sure you do not participate—to suppose for an in stant that the cause in which we are engaged is merely of local interest. It is equally an English and European cause; one concerning the entire well-being of society. It is not the suc cession to a throne, but the great principle which divides the European nations, that is at stake. Here then, in the midst of gorges, and behind rugged bar riers, the odious principle of Absolutism has taken its last stand; here is its battle-field for various states; these are its agonized and expiring struggles : and well does it become England to follow up thus her ancient practice of cherishing freedom, when over and wherever it calls on her for her aid. And above all is this course most for her interest and renown, when that appeal is from her most assured and most natural allies, the commu nities of the Peninsula. While thus, for a brief interval, endeavouring to promote the piosperity of this country, the genial influence of which must necessarily be reflected back, and beneficially felt by our own people, you sufficiently know me to feel assured that I have not ceased to entertain the same solicitude as ever for the ad vancement of the same cause in England; although for the moment it has not been possible for me to follow, with the exactness I should wish, the progress which has been made in my absence. I must, therefore, limit myself to congratulating you most heartily, as I do myself, on the admirable and cleans ing operation of the new municipal law of England—approach ing, if not equalling in its utility, that previously applied to Scotland ; hoping most zealously that similar corrective mea sures, on that point as on others of equal moment, are also in course of being speedily granted to Ireland, where the neces sity for relief is even yet greater than in any other part of the empire—rejoicing to observe the increasing moral strength of our present Liberal Government, and the bond of union which I see happily existing amongst all true Reformers, without both which there could be no assurance for the steady advance now making in all v bolesome ameliorations—and earnestly assuring you of the ardent zeal and anxiety with which I look forward to the time, and at no distant period, of resuming my imme diate duties i❑ your service, locally and generally, in the per formance of which I confidently trust you will find me, as I venture to persude myself has hitherto been the case. Your diligent, observant, and sincerely faithful friend and servant, DE L. EVANS. MADRID. A F1:11. 10.—General Cordova transmits to the Minister of War the most satisfactory accounts .from General Tell°, who spade some excursions in Navarre, extending beyond the Christino lines on the river Arga, lately occupied by the ene my, crossinF Los Arcos and Oteiza- Solana. Ile speaks of the great improvement Which has taken place in the public mind, end the opinion of the inhabitants, more than ever oppressed by the ruinous contributions which the enemy, ungrateful for theirs terifices and services, imposes on them. The discipline of he:: Majesty's troops is so perfect, that the inhabitants re main in their dwellings, furnish rations, and receive the troops witli cordiality end confidence, selling their produce without thtb „lightest complaint. The prisoners who arrive also speak highly of the good treatme , t they receive, especially in Navarre, a fact of the highest importance; for in a war so eminently political, it is opinion. rather than arms, that must speedily put an end to it; nod this is what all are now ardently wishing—the people being tired and exhau,tcd by this destructive struggle. Last night, says the desp,itch. " I sent out three columns, one under Colonel S.leido, which was to surprise, and did surprise, the eying detachment of Amoiategin. The moonlight discovered our soldiers, who were obliged to content themselves nith the _ made, and the horse of the commander, wha • -.cal - T(1 with . the dispersed, over tif rugged ground, as .is lie could. sev;i .Is,men the Tl,e other column of three companies, under Lieut.-Col. nidro Erquitns. marched to Maestu, leaving the battalion of Cas -1,11,,, a TA t h e Ot t ipu s o,:a sharp-shooters, with :i0 Lancers of the Ist ea, airy %gin:tilt of the British Auxiliary Legion, under Major Vod.;iield, in position at Izarsa, to protect both expedi zions. The result Was the capture of 27 prisoners and one surprised at break of day at Apcllany, where they n..rkcii at a manufactory of slices for the faction, and had 400 ve , dv. These companies of Chapel-gorris and Cela (ores or Alava, have marched fourteen leagues from nifie :It Might till three, p rn., in very bad weather, and, without any loss, haring etreeted both their surprizes. The snow is again fallinn in abundance." Th . e Queen Regent has not accepted the resignation of the Captain General of Catalonia, the gallant Mina, who, at tacked I>y the M:Arid papers, especially 11 Espanol, about the execution of Cabrera's mother, had tendered it ; as the C•alists and enemies of the Queen's Government make it a point to dirgust her best Generals and Ministers, to deprive the country of their services. The same paper tried this identical nmexu-;re against the President of the Council, bot with:nit suc.ce-,i. Its enmity to the present Ministry entirely originatc(Vi-om private pique and disappointed ambition, M. Alend;zak,al having refused to lend his support to the editor of 11 E.s:Janol, who - had sat his heart on the representation of Mai - .ga, in which he failed last election. 71Ientlizabal can, however, well afford to treat such snarling curs with contempt. His predecessors in office, less courageons than himself, have put down a number of jot.ai— nuts r.,!-.ing war against them ; but, instead of following this vinar.ctivf, example, he had the generosity of declining to cu b' ce the law against the Espanol, for inserting paragraphs without the previous approbation of the Censorship, merely because the:7 contained only attacks upon his character ; though punisEabk with heavy fines. This magnanimity has enlisted the dis , ...:rning part of the public on the side of the Minister, and overwhelmed the abject apologies of the editor with ser,Fn. He has turned the same weapon against some of his opponetits and rivals in the Chamber; for, in lieu of depri ving M. Guliano of the place he held under Government, as any liinister in England would have done, he assured him that the memory of their former friendship would never allow him to become the instrument of M. Galiano's dismissal. Such acts of generosity may be lost on the base nature of ingrati tude, but tl7.ey never are on the public. The 1..1gh and low clergy, with few exceptions, continue in their 'ho s tility to the Queen's Government, and secretly favour th...e Pretender and his partisans. In the morning of the sth instant, the Bishop of Palencia fled from his diocese. The authorities of the provinces bordering on the rebels have, therefore, put themselves in motion. The Civil Governor of Burgos marched out with a detachment of cavalry the same night. The sub-delegates of the Police on the frontiers are in sear•zli of the Right Reverend fugitive, who is likely to be caur 4 ll t. The brilliant victory gained by General Palarca near Va lencia, is a dead blow to the faction. It has broken the spell of Cabrera's supposed invincibility. His force in the action consisted of 4,500 infantry and 400 lancers ; that of Palarca of only 2,200, one half of whom were National Guards, not inured to the fatigues of war. Cabrera's first position was carried by a charge with the bayonet, by the Grenadiers of Lorca. The rebels defended themselves obstinately, but they were successively driven from this and five others. The cavalry then charged, and sabred the rebel masses. The mounted National Guards of Valencia charged likewise, and tinged their lances in rebel blood. The Justices of Chivas picked up 318 rebel corpses, all killed by bayonet or lance wounds ; 400 muskets, 120 horses, 60 lances, and all the enemy's baggage, fell into the hands of the Christinos, and many of the soldiers were seen with golden ounzes (doubloons), their share of the booty. The Carlists were dispersed, and retreated by Sote, Chulilla passing the Rio Blanco. Cabrera could not form them again. The enthusiasm against them was so great, that the very ex-Royalists demanded arms, and hastened to places of danger—a poor prospect for Don Carlos, whose flatterers pointed out a new road for him to Madrid, via Catalonia and Valencia. What will your Tory Papers now say of the Ministry here, which they declared unable to face the new Cortes, and on the point of being turned out, when they find that the Address has been unanimously voted on the Bth by the whole Chamber of Procuradores—that the opposition of Isturiz, Galiano , Count Las N avas , an d ot h ers, proved a failure from the beginning-- and that the paragraphs of the Address are now daily being carried, one i 3 37 one ; and that the Finance Minister de clared, in answ er to M. lit.nr . i s a, that the Government neither had, nor would demand any,44N.vention, because it needed none—that all it asked forwlLS \ '*o '.....,0fthe Q d le Alliance ecution Treaty ? - , 7.\ - A Procu ie raeoie in ez observed yer cr ay d t d that the fa rzy jy hie b e ee l i i e ep po r a n th " !SO Tha l , m th a ' e nitt e u r r n i m ng en o t n ia ; d t c h o a n t c i l t ud h e a d d ke ttA?f comet, 6 str . o ed the England; and that the . cloth . im t Y manufactures of his province. HeZ-thew the President o f the Council whether there as such a treaty or not; who replied that no such treaty existed as yet ; but that, when the levy of 100,000 men was 'decreed on the 23th October last, he called the manufac turers of Alcoy residing at Madrid, when they declared that, if the winter proved wet, they would not be able to furnish the cloth wanted for 70,000 to 80,000 uniforms, and that, 150,000 yards were then ordered from England, to make 25,000 suits ; and that the Government, so far from wishing to injure the national industry, only wanted to encourage it, but could not delay this supply. No Member in the Chamber has so much improved in public speaking as the President of the Council, who now needs no assistance of orators to defend his measures. On the sth instant the rebels occupied the following posi tions : Galdacano—Was occupied by 2 battalions of Beira and Castille. Lugando—By 2 battalions of Gonzales and Arroyo, and some Guerillas. Amurrio—By the Biscayan battalion of Lugin. Lodio, Orozco, &c.—By 3 Guipozcoa battalions. Orduna—By the Cavalry of Villalobos. Arriniega—By 1 of Castor's. Menegaray—By Cavalry, and various places on the road by 4 battalions of Biscay. The Mountains of Urquiorra and Elorrio—By the guides of Alava, with the Pretender at their head. Omandiano—By 2 Navarrese battalions. Villa Real, Eloza, and Urmuyer—By 4 battalions of Alava, and 1 squadron of Cavalry under Villa Real. Salinas and the Vicinity—By 2 battalions of Navarre and Iturralde. Arecharalibo—By 1 of Castille. Escorriarra—By 1 ditto. Castanera—By 1 ditto. Onate—Boasts of the presence of the Cure Merino and his rabble. Bermeda—Of the 2d battalion of Alava. At Guerreria they have a 36-pounder, but no means of re moving it. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS', last night, two petitions were presented ; the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Bill was passed ; and the Mutiny Bill and the Marine Mutiny Bill went through Com mittee. In the Comm°Ns', on the motion for the further considera tion of the Grand Junction Railway Bill being made, Lord G. Somerset moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be re-com mitted. The House divided, when there appeared for the amendment 106, against it 43; majority 63. An interesting conversation ensued on the subject of allowing the votes of Members having a direct pecuniary interest in any particular private Bill. Sir S. Whalley, standing in that relation as a shareholder of this railway, was declared incompetent to vote upon it. Lord Palmerston stated, in reply to a question from Mr. Hume, that Sir F. Lamb, our ambassador at that Court, would proceed on Monday to Vienna, and that for the sixteen months he had been absent, one half of his allowance would, according to the usual practice in such cases, be deducted. The remainder of the evening was almost exclusively occupied in the discussion on Mr. M. Stewart's motion respecting our relations with Russia, the protection of our commercial in terests in Turkey, and the occupation of Cracow. As we have elsewhere alluded to the important subject of this motion, it is not necessary here to say more than that being opposed by Ministers it was withdrawn. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Committee this morning the argument c3mmencecl on Wednesday, respecting the validity of votes given by persons licensed to sell stamps in the city of Dublin was resumed by Mr. HARRISON, who contended on the part of the petitioners that this class of persons did not come within the meaning of the Act of 43 Geo. 111., which disqualifies voters engaged or concerned in the collection of the Stamp duties. Tice Committee, after a short deliberation, resolved— " That it is the opinion of the Committee that the voter, Michael Browne Lacey, does not fall within the provisions of the Act of the 43d George 111., chap. 25, by which persons concerned or employed in the collection, receipt, or manage ment of any of the duties, are disqualified from voting." Another vote was presented by Mr. Joy, but was ruled to fall within the terms of the last resolution. Mr. AUSTEN next proceeded with class No. 8 of the ob jections taken by the sitting Member, which contained the names of certain voters on the poll for the petitioners who were, at the time of voting, officers or persons ap pointed under an Act passed in the 48th George 111., entitled, "An Act, for the more effectual administration of of the office of Justice of the Peace, and for the more effectual prevention of felonies within the district of the Dubl;il metro- polis." The policy of that Act was to prevent the undue in fluence of Government in elections, and the fact justified the apprehension of the Legislature, for in this class there were twenty-two policemen all voting for the petitioners, and not one for the sittin g Member. The voter whom he proposed to strike off was Bernard Callaghan, a policeman in the city of Dublin. The Learned Gentleman having read the evidence given in this ease, and the admission given by the petitioners' agent, said he should submit that he had stated sufficient to entitle him to have the voter struck off the poll. . . Mr. HARRISON contended it was not sliewn that Bernard Callaghan had been appointed under the Act mentioned in the heading to this class. There were four acts on the subject, under any one of which he might have been appointed. Mr. AusTEN said the 48th George 111. was not repealed by either of the two subsequent Acts, on the contrary, it was in full force. He did not find any power of appointment under the Act of the 3d or sth of George IV. He would leave the matter in the hands of the Committee, directing their atten tion to the last section. Mr. ElAntasort submitted that no presumption of appoint ment should disqualify him from voting, thus subjecting him to a penalty of one hundred pounds. Ile admitted if the ob jection had been taken as well under the sth of George IV., a 3 under the 48th George 111., it could be maintained. The Committee adjoCtrned at half-past one o'clock till to morrow at eleven, without coming to any decision on the THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The second Fer forniznce, last night, was attended much in the same way as the first—by a numerous, but by no means a crowded, audience. The Oratorio of Israel in Egypt consists in a great measure of a series of choruses, connected by a few recitatives, and two or three ducts and' airs. It depends, therefore, almost entirely on the quality of the chorus, and very little on the abilities of the principal singers. The only remarkable things for solo vcices arc the duet, " The Lord is a Man of War," and the solo of Miriam, " Sing ye to the Lord," which introduces the final chorus. The duct was extremely well sung by Mr. Ma chin and Mr. Stretton ; and Madame Caradori Allan delivered the inspiring address to the Israelites with a power of voice and energy of expression which could not, certainly, be surpassed, by any siner of the present day. The instrumental band also acquitted themselves ably, playing with accuracy, smoothness, and delicacy. TIIE GOLDSMITHS' BALL.—The Goldsmiths' Company gave last night a splendid ball, at their magnificent new Hall, the exterior of which, notwithstanding its confined position, is generally acknowledged to be one of the most superb architectural ornaments of the metropolis, and the in terior, which we for the first time visited, is arranged and fitted up in a style worthy of the most opulent of our City Compa nies. We observed in the crowd the Dukes of Devonshire. Wellington, and Argyll, the Duchess of St. Alban's, Earl Grey, Viscount Melbourne, Lord and Lady .John Russell ; ire short,‘to enumerate the company, would be to enumerate all who are most distinguished either in the fashionable circles of the West, or in the City. SUICIDE OF MR. SEYMOUR.—Yesterday morn ing, soon after seven o'clock, the maid servant of Robert Sey mour, Esq., was proceeding into the garden of her master's residence, situated at No. IC, Barlisbury-place, Barnsbury park, Liverpool-road, Islington, when she discovered her mas ter stretched across the path a lifeless corpse, with a gun lying by his side. Assistance was immediately called in, and a sur geon sent for, when it was discovered that the deceased must have been dead nearly an hour. On lifting the body up it was ascertained that the contents of the gun had passed through his heart, and made its way out through the back, perforating his clothes. The gun must have been charged with bullets, as three distinct holes were visible in the folds of his cloak. Some hundreds of caricatures, published under the title of " Sketches by Seymour," " The Political Looking-glass," and many other productions of the like nature, were by this gentleman. Mr. Seymour was about forty years of age, and has left a wife and two children. A Coroner's inquest will be held on the body this evening. The ship Charles Kerr, from London, with female emigrants, arrived at Launceston, Van Dieman's Land, on the 15th November—all well. MURDER.—Iii December last a boy named Kettle, belonging to the brig Sandwich, which arrived last week in the river, was brutally murdered by Manuel Antonio, a man of colour, the cook of the ship, at Zanzebar, on the Coast of Africa. It appears that the parties, with some others of the crew, went ashore in the jolly boat, and some words passed between the boy and Antonio, a tall athletic fellow, who knocked the other down and otherwise ill-used him, leaving him senseless on the ground. The boy, on recovering, ran away towards the shore for the purpose of regaining the ship, but was pursued by Antonio, who again beat him, threw him down, and when he was down, knelt upon his breast, awl treated him in the most cruel manner, from the effects of which the lad died in half an hour afterwards. Antonio was secured, the testimony of those who saw the cruelty exercised towards the boy was taken by the British Consul at a neigh bouring settlement, and the culprit is now on his way home, in another vessel, in irons, to take his trial at. the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. A report is prevalent that it is contemplated to re move the Ely Assizes to Cambridge. Perhaps this intention may originate with a design on the part of the Government to do away with the secular authority of the Bishop of Ely, as in the case of Durham, and to assimilate the administration of justice to other parts of the kingdom. —Cambridge Press. When the Duke of Ormonde was made Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, in Queen Anne's reign, one of his friends applied to him for some preferment, adding that he was by no means particular, and was willing to accept either a bishopric or a regiment of horse, or to be made Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. This, however, is surpassed by Horace Walpole 's anecdote of a humane gaoler in Oxfordshire, who made the following application to one of his condemned pri nMy good friend ! I h ave a li ttle favour to ask of you, e from your obliging disp os i t i on, i doubt not you s will readily grant. You are ordered for execution on Friday week. I have a particular engagement on that day ;if it makes no difference to you would you say Friday next in stead ?".—Life of Cowper.

To which is added, a Synopsis of the Greek Metres, by the Rev. J. R. Major, Head-Master of King's College School, London. fl REEK G It A D U S; -Or or, GREEK, LATIN, and ENGLISH PROSODIAL LEXICON. For Colleges, and Schools. By the Rev. J. BRASSE, D.D., Late, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. It has been the object to present, in a comprehensive form; a Manual, containing the interpretation, in Latin and English, of such words as occur in the principal Greek Poets ;—the quantity of esch syllable actually or virtually marked;—an authority quoted it the existence and quantity of each word in those writers ;—and I hose terms set down as synonymous which appear to bear a simili tilde in sen'e to the principal word. The Works of the Greek Poets have been examined, and such epithets and phrases annexed to each principal word as are of legitimate usage, and seem best calculated to embellish Greek composition. This Gradus will suffice for the reading of the Greek Trage dians. _ _ . " The indefatigable application required in the compilation of the Greek Gradus is manifest ; and we heartily recommend the work as supplying a desideratum in our School Books, and likely to be ad vantageously used to a very wide extent."—Literary Chronicle.

Angel-court, Throgmorton-street, April 16, 1836. HAMBURGH; Ma acir 18, 1836.

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. , , c i& 07' • k'"?' . :„.„. „„, ~„e „ tleman—startling as were the facts, and undisputed as were the authorities by which he supported his arguments—it must b 3 admitted that the tone of the House of Commons was decidedly adverse to hostilities with Russia. On both sides of the House, and by men of every shade of opinion, was a war—which eventually must take place—deprecated as an evil which ought only to be resorted to in the last ex tremity. We approve of this caution on the part of our Representatives ; but in the present instance, we are per suaded they will soon find to their cost, that they are car rying it too far. The way to avert a war with Russia, is not to anticipate its terrors, and then turn pale at sight of the vi sion conjured up by our own fears and fancies. To avert a war we must be prepared for it ; to prevent hostilities, we must take measures to hinder the perpetration of those ag gressions which would legitimize it in the eyes of Europe. Will any Member of either House of Parliament have the hardihood to affirm, that England could not have prevented the downfall of 'Poland, without levelling a single gun against a Russian garrison ? It is not war, but firmness and energy in our foreign policy for which we have been mainly contending since the accession of the Whig Cabinet. That firmness and energy would have saved Poland—would have compelled the CZAR to abandon the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi—would have prevented the occupation of Cracow by the three Powers—and would have hindered Russia from issuing those quarantine regulations by which she has succeeded in all but annihilating our trade on the Da nube. As Mr. STEWART well observed,—" while we are quietly looking on, and seeing danger as at an im mense distance, or regarding it only with the eye of an alarmist, Russia is steadily pursuing her aggressive po hey, dangerous to the' peace of Europe, and injurious to the commercial interests of this country." In fact, our ap parent unwillingness to draw down upon us the wrath of Russia, is hurrying us headlong towards that precipice which the ROEBUCKS and the WARBURTONS cannot think of with out horror. The country may rely upon it, that the speeches of our Parliamentary peace-preservers will greatly accele rate the war with Russia—happen when it may. Russia ‘vill be sure to attribute to our fears, councils originating in excessive caution ; and the natural consequence will be, that she will multiply her aggressions to such an extent that we will be compelled to take up arms to defend ourselves. Thus, after we shall have first tamely submitted to the loss of our honour, we shall be obliged to take the field to pre serve our political and mercantile existence. • The present is hardly a fitting time for re-opening the question of the downfall of Poland ; but it is impossible not to be persuaded, that the resuscitation of that kingdom is absolutely necessary to the restoration of the European ba lance of power. The CZAR is not only nominally Emperor of all the Russias and King of Poland, but he is virtually Sovereign of Greece, of Turkey, of Egypt, and of Persia. The Sultan MAHMOUD and MEHEMET ALI are but the first of his vassals ; and OTHO he regards as a trouble some, but helpless neighbour, whom he expects to expel from Greece as soon as, the first shots are exchanged be tween himself and Great Britain. There is one class of persons whose interests begin to be affected by Russian aggression, from whose public spirit we have reason to expect the best results. We allude to the British merchants. When this feeling of excessive aggression becomes general, we may calculate upon the manifestation of a spirit of public indignation, which Par liament will hardly be able to controul, by magnifying the power of our Barbarian Despot. England's vitality is her trade ; and the CZAR cannot take a more certain course to provoke hostilities than by attacking British commerce. Sir ANDREW AGNEW, WO perceive, brings forward to night his motion for, what he calls, the better Observance of the Sabbath. We can anticipate much of what he will say ,on the occasion, and also predict pretty confidently the fate of his motion. He will tell us that the lower classes of society are altogether demoralized, for that instead of cultivating a long Sunday face ; spending the Sabbath on their knees ; :Ind eschewing the abominations of a walk in the green fields, a drive in the hired chaise, or a refreshing glass of beer, with a little social chat to flavour it, on the bench outside the village alehouse ; the sacrilegious wretches insist on being happy, and indulging in all sorts of innocent, health ful recreations. Our modern Maw-worm will then launch the thunders of his wrath against the Sunday shaving, and Sunday baking system ; call upon the House to excommunicate all those irreverend legs of mutton that are detected in the oven on the Sabbath ; and visit with condign displeasure every atheistical horse or donkey that presumes to walk, trot, canter, or gallop on that holy day. And how will the House receive this ghostly invocation ? Why, with shouts of laughter, to be sure ! Cant may succeed in the conven ticle, but thank God, it is not yet in favour with the House of Commons. Besides, Saint ANDREW is a one-sided Saint, who can see iniquities in the poor, which he cannot see in the rich ; and this is another reason why the House will reject his motion with contempt. We have no tolera tion for those partial, purblind, mincing Puritans who hesi tate at a gnat, while they bolt a camel. If laws are to be enforced for the better observance of the Sabbath, let them be enforced against all classes equally. Do not clip the wings of the peasant's or mechanic's enjoyment, while you leave the wealthy and the titled in the full possession of theirs. If you must shut up the baker's oven, and the barber's shop, shut up also the West-end clubs and hotels, and place a dozen policemen at the gates of Hyde Park. Surely as numb consideration is due to the pale face of the over tasked operative, as to the smooth, smiling visage of the in dolent Dives ! True justice makes no such ungenerous dis tinctions as Saint Andrew would make. It has an eye to the happiness of the many, not the few. It does not make one law for the smock-frock, and another for the ermine robe ; but sees fair play between rich and poor, between ple beian and patrician. If our Saint of Saints will insist on per severing with his motion for the Sunday coercion of the vulgar little, why, we must endeavour to persuade Mr. HUME to right the balance, by bringing forward another for the Sunday coercion of the vulgar great. We have always admired the exquisite tact displayed by the leaders of the Orange Societies in England on the dis covery of their nefarious designs. As soon as the Parlia mentary investigation, so indefatigably and ably conducted by Mr. HUME, had unveiled their secret plans, and brought home, to sonic of them at least, the knowledge of a plot for altering the succession to the Crown, they availed themselves, promptly and dexterously, of the loop hole offered for their escape by the lenity---the ill judged lenity we must call it —of the King's Ministers. In obedience to the opinion expressed by the House of Commons, and in compliance with the wish hinted by his MAJESTY in his gracious answer to the Address of the House, they instantly dissolved the Association. The whole fraternity on this side the water was broken up in a moment. By this apparently humble deference to the Representatives of the people, to the will of the Sovereign, and to public opinion, while at the same time they solemnly protested against this act being considered as an acknowledgment of the truth of the charges brought 'against them, they escaped the certain ignominy of being dragged before the public tribunals, and the scarcely less certain punishment which would have followed such a proceeding. How different has been the conduct of the Orangemen in Ireland ! Equally guilty and equally conscious of guilt, they had not sense enough to adapt themselves to the new situation in which they were placed, by the unreserved and unanimous dissolution of the Eng lish Associations, and by the recommendation of the Imperial Grand Master, that they should follow the ex ample. No, they blustered and swaggered—swore that they would not dissolve—and even had the ridiculous effrontery to assume " No surrender" as a motto ; thus placing themselves both in word and deed in a state of hostility to their SOVEREIGN, the supreme executive branch of the Constitution, as well as to the law of the land. It is true they did all this as "loyal subjects, and religious Protestants ;" but when did treason act otherwise ? Loyalty and religion are its watchwords, and have ever been so. It is by the hypocritical employment of these much abused terms that it imposes upon the ignorant, and decoys the ncautious into its toils ; while its settled and secret pur pose is to trample loyalty under foot, and to set the very fundamental principles of the Christian religion at de fiance. Such arc Orange loyalty and Orange Protes tantism, when rightly interpreted. Thank Heaven, these nurseries of crime, these hotbeds of all evil, the Orange Associations, are at last extinct in all parts of the kingdom ! It is also matter of public con gratulation, that in Ireland where their baneful influence has been chiefly felt, they have died as the felon dies, obdurate and impenitent, cursing their fate, and making their guilt more clearly evident by their attempts to conceal it. They have yielded to the power of the law—but after they had sworn to defy it. They have struggled at the very foot of the gallows, against that authority which it should have been their first duty to obey. As it is desirable that the true character of these pests of their country should be handed down to posterity, we re commend the following lines—evidently intended for the very purpose, though written 60 or 70 years ago—as an epitaph to be engraven on their tomb : These rebels varnish'd o'er their cause With specious colouring of laws ; These pious traitors drew the knife, In the King's name, against his life ! Our readers will find in another part of The Sun a let_ ter, dated Vittoria, addressed by Colonel EVANS to the Electors of Westminster, wherein he gives a most cheering account of the QUEEN'S cause in Spain,, observing, " to the lasting honour of the Grandees and higher nobility, with at most, I believe, one unimportant exception, they have espoused, on this great occasion, the cause of Re form, of their QUEEN, and country. Of the loyalty of the ma jority of the people, the cheerfulness, the alacrity, and perfect good-will with which the recent levy has been accomplished, without the slightest compulsory means, appears to me to be an ample, practical proof. As to the respectable middle classes, in all the towns of the least consideration, they are as one body, scarcely even excepting those of the insurrec tionary districts, heartily devoted to the general good." The Gallant Colonel then proceeds to give some details respec ting the condition of the Carlists, whose resources, he says, " are exhausted and dried up," and who are now " becom ing outnumbered by the QUEEN'S forces, in the propor tion probably of three or four to one, though they as yet occupy an advantageous control of the theatre of opera tions—consisting of an immense group of mountains, which by their peculiar configuration may be considered almost o the character of a fortress, or of a series of strong positions.' Notwithstanding this, however, Colonel EVANS states that the entire overthrow and dispersion of the Carlists is cer tain ; and that he hopes at " no distant period" to be ena bled to return to England, and resume his duties in the House of Commons. On the subject of the British Legion, he expressly states that scarce one of the rumours of late so industriously spread abroad respecting its disor ganized condition are true. "It is now," he ob serves, "in perfect service order, and presents an excellent appearance. Its discipline and subordination are most satisfactory, and in point of exactness and rapidity of evolution, there are no troops in the army of any nation who equal it." Equally satisfactory are the Gallant Colo nel's remarks respecting General CORDOVA, who, so far from showing the slightest jealousy or coldness, has on every occasion, co-operated with him in the most cordial and efficient manner. But, indeed, throughout his letter, Colonel EVANS refutes in the most triumphant manner all those calumnies which the Conservatives have endeavoured to turn to account in Parliament, and particularly men tions the Stock Exchange rumours of London and Paris, as being unworthy of a moment's serious consideration. The whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received. They contain no political intelligence of impor tance with the exception of the following : We have stated that a summons had been sent to the Poles who had signed the Act of Confederation. We had hoped that the temporal appeal of General Soltyk to the pro tection of the Government, coming from an old soldier who has signally distinguished himself in the French and Polish armies, would prevent any arbitrary act. We were mistaken, and we have to-day the melancholy certainty that thirty refugees, among whom are Generals Soltyk and Dwernicki, and the Deputy Ledochowski, have receives orders to quit Paris, and to state the towns in the Departments in which they intend to fix their residence. Three days are al lowed them to make their choice ; after that they will be at the disposal of the Authorities. We are assured that the Order of the Ministers especially al leges, as a reason, that the Act of Confederation is an attack on our Prussian Ally. VIENNA, APRIL 11.— AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—Five per Cents.

The Jamaica Despatch of the 10th of March con tains a report of a public meeting at Kingston, for the purpose of incorporating and consolidating the several branches of the National Schools. The Bishop of Jamaica presided as Chairman, and the following Resolutions were passed : Ist. That this Institution be called " The Jamaica Diocesan National School Society." 2nd. That application be immediately made to the " Na tional Society," to admit this Institution into union upon its usual terms. 3rd. That the Central and Branch Schools of Kingston shall be under the sole conduct and management of Mr. Lyne, (who shall be responsible for their success both as regards the children and the masters and mistresses in training), to be con ducted on the principle of the " National School Society," and to practice fully and faithfully the National System of Education. 4th. That the boys educated in the Schools shall be pro vided with testimonials and recommendations according to their conduct and talent, and in special cases such pecuniary aid may be afforded as the funds will permit. sth. That a meeting shall be held annually, as near Christ mas as may be, before which shall be laid a general statement of the Institution. These are the Resolutions. We shall now give— but without adopting—the Editor's commentary upon them. It certainly is not undeserving of attention— especially that portion of it which refers to the cos mopolite spirit of English charity.:— " However desirable it may be to educate the rising gene ration, it is much more necessary to teach them moral and in dustrious habits, to qualify them for the change which will take place after the year 1840. It is well known that we have more mechanics in Jamaica than we can even now find em ployment for. What will it then be, if the whole of our ju venile population are to be taught nothing but trades? " In the first place, we think the whole of this anxiety about the religious education of our youthful peasantry quite premature. In the second, how are the parents to send their children under six years of age to school? Who is to clothe them ?—or, who is to attend them when they are sick ? The master's humanity may induce him to do much, but it cannot be expected that he will contribute one shilling towards the maintenance and education of those over whom he has neither claim nor controul. We, therefore, say, that this grand experiment has commenced long before it ought ; and it will be found that no good whatever will re suit from it. It should have been delayed until after t . cdout the e of August, 1840, when the parents, if then so disposed,' yield extra labour for the education of their offspring --a children themselves might be made accustomed to light for two or three days in the week, and by this means gi e y t the impulse t o education and industry ; but the former, vvithoit ► I _ latter, is a ce rtain way of entailing Misery and wretche►ln. eat; on the whole country. While we applaud the zeal °I our on Bishop, we cannot help laughing in sleeve at the folly o our John Bull for sendin C 1 nies for the gso much money to the o o d Iris educationh of niggers, when millions of Englishmen an . u work children men know not a B from a bull's foot I But they are whi,t: and it is supposed education would render them political 01.3! contents ; and for that reason they a re allowed to w all ow la filth, poverty, and wretchedness ! The Maunvorm Rh ila _IF' thropy which induces the English people to export their b 0 11,1?('; manity, is disgusting; and the hypocrisy of inducing ham is ..t4 l a ! that there are no fit objects of commise ration at holm !, ! sickening—as it is well known that, more real misery exist London in one day, than has been know n in this Island f NO its earliest settlement I But the op tics of John Bull have be come so familiarised with scenes ofwoe at his very threshh hit tan old , that he must hypocritically export his mone y and his p thropy where neither are required. It is, however, the fashi t h at and while the mania lasts, the more of England's money that is spent here, the better; and we hope this part of the farce will be kept up for some years lo t lger." ---.

M. STEWART'S motion, praying his MAJESTY to send a diplomatic agent to Cracow, and to adopt measures for the protection and extension of the commercial interests of Great Britain in Turkey and the Euxine, cannot be over-estimated by the country. Al though, strictly speaking, the motion was withdrawn, vet it ought to be remembered that th e grea t objection made to it by the Noble Foreign Secretary was purely of a technical nature ; and that, in point of fact, the effect must be the same as if it had been unanimously adopted by the House. Lord PALMERSTON'S objection to the motion had reference to its undue interference with one of the great prerogatives of the Crown—an interference which the Noble Lord and Sir ROBERT PEEL both stated was unprecedented in the constitutional annals of this country. This statement is incorrect. There are precedents for far greater Parliamentary invasions of the Royal prerogative, although we should be sorry to se e ac t s so unconstitutional appealed to as authorities, by any Mem ber of the Reformed Parliament. Two well precedents will be found on the Rolls of Parliament during the reign of Richard ll.—the latest some years before the rebellion for the deposition of that Monarch. We believe, however, that since the accession of the House of Brunswick there has been no instance of Parliament addressing the Crown, to send an ambassador to any Court at which there had previously been no official British agent ; although Parlia ment has constantly maintained the right of constitutional remonstrance when diplomatic appointments were made by the Crown derogatory to the royal dignity, and dangerous to the peace of the country. So much for the constit u ti ona l principle involved in Mr. STEWART'S motion. Eloquent and lucid as was the speech of the lion. Gen. be fins .__._ ~_ .
